-------------------------------------

Need a good text for warning message. Now it is very simple: "You're running installer as root user"

> When I ran the installer I was not paying attention and ran it as root, it ended up installed in /usr/local/jbdevstudio3cr1.  I then tried to run the uninstaller and was left with a few items in the Applications -> Programming Main menu as seen in the attached screen shot.  Should we check to see if you are trying to install as root on linux.  It also seemed that I was not able to have any servers available in the server view, although I am not sure if that is a first time running the cr1 installer error as seemed to have happened on my mac, where I never run as root.  Now that I have installed once there is no way to test this hypothesis.
